Police charged Timothy Jacoby, 39, with the shooting death of 55-year-old Monica Schmeyer of Glenville.

Schmeyer was found dead in her home in March 2010.

Witnesses reported seeing Jacoby near the area at the time of the killing. A gun belonging to Jacoby was allegedly found to be the murder weapon, police said.

Neighbors who live nearby said they're relieved an arrest has been made.

"It's always frightening to sleep at night. Each time a car passed by I had to look out the window to make sure it is nobody here, that kind of thing. My husband used to work nights, so it was a little scary," said neighbor Vani Moul.

Police also said that Jacoby was an acquaintance of Schmeyer's ex-husband. Jacoby is being held in York County Prison.
